Winter and Spring

My Bleeding Hearts

It is April and it is SNOWING outside!?! What is up with this weather?
This has been a little like how I have been feeling lately. Opposition. Extremes. I am trying to get past some stuff and move on, yet the past keeps coming back around again. Two steps forward and one step back. Dancing the same dance, but wanting to change the tune. Changing a single step here and there and expecting enormous results. Unrealistic. Seeing where I want to go, but not knowing how to get there exactly. Or why I even want to go in the first place.

Below is a photo I took back in November. It was a tree that had both spring blooms and fall leaves all at once. That tree was trying to skip two steps. Sublimation. Today that tree doesn’t look very good. I guess that is the lesson to be learned. Everything has an order and you aren’t supposed to defy it. You have to go through the steps in the order they are meant to go in, and then you get to where you want to be. You don’t just walk in on the top floor. You’ve gotta work your way up to it.
